Experience Details*
Sit back and relax on your journey through the lowland countryside towards the vibrant village of Aberfoyle. You’ll notice when the scenery changes from gentle, rolling panoramas to the breath taking Trossachs.
The diversity of the landscape earns this area its nickname, the ‘Highlands in Miniature’. You’ll see imposing peaks, glassy lochs, quaint villages and emerald forests.
Admire the tranquil woodlands of the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and pause for photos along the route of the Duke’s Pass – one of the most scenic drives in Britain. You’ll have the chance to marvel at either Loch Katrine and Loch Venachar, or Loch Ard and Ben Lomond, depending on where you stop.
Spend some free time exploring the small-but-lively town of Callander, AKA the ‘Gateway to the Highlands’. Treat yourself to a coffee, shop for souvenirs, or take a stroll by the picturesque River Teith.
As your journey nears its end, pass by the Lake of Menteith – the only natural lake in Scotland (the rest are lochs).
